“Dell failed to fix my computer (tampered with Ubuntu OS when I explicitly told them not to), confiscated my working power supply, and then replaced it with a physically damaged one. When they tried to ship me the correct part the next day after I complained again, they sent me one with a Chinese-style plug! The last straw was the "apology" they offered me: one-month warranty extension or a fifty-dollar coupon. I told Gilbert, the supervisor I spoke to, that this was a completely unacceptable and tone-deaf response, considering that I had been unable to work for four days because of their incompetence. I would take them to court if I had the time, but the best I can do is to simply try my luck elsewhere next time I buy a computer. Honestly, what the bleep can I buy for fifty dollars? Of late, it seems that Dell employees cannot follow even the simplest of directions. For example, I was forced to call and wait 20 minutes for Gilbert because he called my cell instead of my office line, contrary to my explicit instructions.”

“I recently purchased the XPS 15 9570 laptop through dell, but when the laptop arrived I noticed there was an issue with the usb port, whenever I plugged anything in I received an error saying “power surge”, I decided to send my laptop back to dell to be repaired, they approximated that It would take 8 to 10 business days. When 8-10 business days passed I decided on calling dell and asking about the current status on my laptop. So they sent me the tracking number of the package. When I checked the tracking number on fedex's website it said my “package had been delivered”, which was odd. Then I noticed that It said it shipped from “Houston, Texas to Madison, wisconsin”, which I found strange because I delivered my package from San antonio, Texas (where I currently reside) to Houston, Texas. When I called dell tech support they told me that the package arrived at the location. Then I had to explain to them that I live in San Antonio Texas, not Madison Wisconsin. And that they should've sent the package back to where it was delivered from instead of sending it halfway across the United States. They apologized and said that they would give me updates on the status of the package and that they would deliver it back. They claimed it would take 24-48 hours for the location of the package to be tracked and they would email me. I never received a single email on the status of my package. I then decided on calling fedex and they said that they would investigate and call me back and tell me the status on my package. I am very very unsatisfied with dell tech support. I still cannot believe they sent my laptop all the way to Madison, Wisconsin instead of sending it where I lived which is San antonio, Texas (which is btw only 250 miles away from houston). It has been over three weeks and I haven't received my laptop yet. I have had great loss due to the fact that I am currently an engineering student and I have all my important programs, documents, and presentations downloaded on that laptop's hard drive, I am very stressed and very upset at my experience with dell.The investigation is still occuring on the status of my laptop, I have not yet received It. I am extremely unsatisfied with dell tech support and I highly recommend to not use that resource, because they’ll make mistakes like sending your laptop halfway across the united states instead of sending it merely 250 miles. I hope my laptop returns safely, It's been over 3 weeks and I've been constantly calling dell, all i've been receiving is “we’ll contact you in 24-48 hours about the status of the package” and never receiving a single email. I highly recommend to never use dell’s tech support resource because not only is it extremely stressful and unsatisfying, It's an embarrassment to the company.”

“Do not buy a dell or a refurbished laptop from them. Dell sold me a refurbished laptop that started acting up and slowing down within 2 months and then wouldn't turn on anymore. I bought the 1 year warranty for over $100 and they told me that it would be covered but after 2 weeks of waiting without a laptop they told me they won't fix and that is was accidental damage which is 100% not true because I never took my laptop off of my desk in my office. I believe they sell faulty laptops and charge you warranties and then claim it is not covered in your warranty so they get away with stealing from you. Dell is a criminal enterprise so please take your business elsewhere!”

“Dell has the absolute worst customer service. I spent $4000 on a alienware r5 17 in silver and they sent me a black one. One at a time, They sent me 3 separated new "silver replacements" which have all showed up to be the black model. I don't know the difficulty about opening the box and making sure it's silver before they ship it. After about 2 months of back and forward with Dell and shipping returns to purolator, I said screw it I want a full refund. It's now been three months and they're still taking money out of my account... I don't even own one of their products anymore. I've called dfs and they continue to give me the run around and tell me that it could take up to 30 days for my account to zero. What about my money they've taken? How long will it take to get that back? Do yourself a favor, take my advise or don't. Save yourself hours and hours of frustration, wait times and misunderstandings. run to a store to by a computer. That way there are no misunderstandings. If there's a problem just return it. It's that simple. Dell is a joke that have taken advantage of way to many of their customers. I hope some day it bites then is the a**.”

“This laptop was built poorly to begin with. A scew fell out in the hinge area, which prompted a second screw to fall out. When the laptop was opened the next time, the hinge at the back cracked off in a perfect straight line. My wife contacted Dell right away as it was our teenage daughter's schoolwork laptop and she was now unable to open it at all. The service rep said if it was hinge related it would be covered under warranty. We were very grateful. My wife sent the laptop off in perfect condition except said hinge that had snapped off and I was later contacted by Amrit with Dell and was told by him that the hard drive failed and that that was the cause of the hinge breaking. This made absolutely no sense. I went around and around about it with him until he realized that was not the issue with the laptop. He then told me there was multiple external damage to the laptop and that I had to pay to have it repaired. I explained to him that the laptop was in great condition except for the damaged hinge and that there were many, many similar reviews with the same hinge issue online. He said that didn't matter. Anyone can write anything about anything online and that there was nothing they could do and that we had to pay $119 to have the laptop repaired. I asked to talk to a supervisor. The supervisor, Gaurav, repeated that there was external damage but that he would try to get a better price so he put me on hold and came back and said that he could get it down to the low price of $200. We went around and around about how a "better price" could RAISE my cost by $81. Again, this made no sense. He then backpeddled and stated that he was looking at it wrong and thought more parts had to be replaced. So then he came down to $88 for the repair and offered a $20 refund that would go into effect after I paid for the repair and it was completed. I did not agree to pay the $68 and asked to speak to his supervisor. He said there was no one else to talk to, that he was it. I told him that I would leave a horrible review but agreed to pay the $88 with the $20 refund. When he heard the word "review" he then told me that there was someone higher than him but if he sent it to them, his offer of the $88 repair with the $20 refund would no longer exist and did I want to take that risk? I responded, "Yes." I received a phonecall from Allen with the Advanced Resolution team. I explained everything from the first two conversations. He said there is nothing that they will do other than charge me for the repair at the full price of $119. I did not feel that the $119 was a satisfactory resolution in any way, but he was holding my laptop "hostage"- in that he would only send it back broken and in pieces without payment. The laptop is my daughter's school laptop and she had already been without it for a full week because the dell repair process takes so long (shipping and repairs and return shipping) and it had not yet even been fixed and she was really behind in her regular schoolwork at the school she attends daily. Likewise, the online classes she currently takes from the local high school kicked her out of her classes due to her being inactive for so long. So we needed her laptop back ASAP! We actually purchased two of this same laptop and we have already sent the other laptop in for repairs TWICE in less than a year. We could not be more disappointed in the quality of Dell laptops but especially in the non-existent customer service. The laptop was extremely well cared for and in perfect condition other than the known faulty hinge design. And we already paid a premium price for it. Dell should have repaired this laptop 100% free of charge due to their poor design. We will NEVER purchase from this company again and will warn as many people as possible not to waste their hard-earned money with Dell as well.”

“Dell is horrible. I will never waste money in their products ever again. Can you say POS. By far the most garbage product I've ever spent money on. I can buy a no name pc from China that works much better then dell. Never buy a Dell product in your life. It garbage and belongs in a trash can.”

“Upon buying our inspiron it began to freeze up during the setup process. We contacted customer support and after them taking it over and spending over 5 hours of time we had to send it in for repair. REceived it back and it began to freeze it up during setup. Had to be sent back a second time. Received it back and it continued doing the same thing. Called customer support and asked for a manager. We asked him for a replacement and he became hostile and rude. He finally just hung up. With no resolution and no place to go but back to India I went to Best Buy where we purchased it. They tested the hardware and then installed a generic Windows 10 without Dell support attached. Voila! It now runs like a dream. Dell sucks and I will never buy another!

“I was traveling and the screen on my Dell laptop, less than 1 year old, stopped working. I called Dell Technical Support and they sent me a box to the address where I was staying the next day as promised. I specifically told the Technical Support Rep NOT to send the laptop back to the same address and to ship it to my home address. Unfortunately the Technical Support Rep sent it back to the address where I was staying and it's been over a week and have spent hours on the phone trying to get them to figure out a way to ship it back and as of the writing of this review it is still sitting at the other address. Dell obviously outsources their customer service and their service is horrible! It is inconceivable that such a simple task could be so complicated and I'm losing money every day this laptop. I would NEVER recommend Dell to anyone!!!”

“If I could give these people 0 stars, I would. They are ridiculous. They don't understand common English which is extremely frustrating but then they are super shady on top of it. To get more money out of me, they tried to add stuff on to my order without me knowing. Then when I confronted them about it, I was hung up on repeatedly. (Yes, I was being cordial at this point). Since then, I have had nothing but problem after problem with them. They used to be a good company 10 years ago. Not anymore...all of it is outsourced and they don't care at all.”

“For anybody considering buying a Dell XPS - DON'T! I've previously owned one of the first model XPS laptops, I had it for 10 years and it was amazing! 2 years ago I attempted to order a new one, it was faulty and returned for refund...I decided when I saw the new model a few months ago I would give Dell another chance as the machine looked great and the reviews had been pretty good. This was a huge mistake: I purchased an XPS, nearly 12 weeks later I do not have a functioning laptop (despite Dell shipping two different machines out) and I am yet to be refunded. First XPS: faulty fan (sounded like a jet engine), performance issues, disk issues (kept blue screening with I/O errors) Second replacement XPS: none of the issue of the first machine - great! however could only be used when it wasn't plugged in as when the AC was connected there was a high pitched scratching/buzzing noise from the top left area of motherboard Dell were notified within a couple of days of delivery of the issues on both occasions. For both systems there was near endless and completely pointless "tech support" and troubleshooting, including sending recordings to Dell. I have received zero Next Business Day support. Dell have scheduled collection on 5 dates for the 2nd machine. They have not arrived to collect the laptop on any of these dates. I have repeatedly requested escalation of the issue without success. I have repeatedly requested a complaint reference, which support staff refuse to provide. Dell Support staff are now regularly emailing with useful updates such as "...collection team confirmed that it is booked for collection however it was failed. Even yesterday the collection was arranged however it failed again. I need to check with collections team for the reason for failed collection" - this useful information was given with no explanation/apology. 83 emails later (including one which was sent to me in error containing a significant amount of personal data for another customer) and I've had no laptop for nearly 12 weeks, am down €1,449.00 and have suffered considerable personal and financial issues due to the mistake I made in purchasing an XPS from Dell.”

“My expensive 6 month old all-in-one desktop (XPS 7760) suddenly crashed for no apparent reason. Customer service advised me to take it to my own technician, as there was nothing they could do to help over the phone. So, my computer has been in a repair shop for 5 days, I don't know when I will get it back or whether my important data can be saved, & I will be forced to incur significant expense for the repairs. I had never had a problem with my previous Dell which was over 8 years old. Clearly, Dell's quality has deteriorated drastically, & worse, Dell refuses to stand behind its products.”

“oing back to school so i decided to use my student loans and get a BRAND NEW laptop. All my laptops before this had been refurbished or hand me downs from my family so i was super excited to get hardware that had never been used before. I get the computer and i decided to play an old game of mine call Dungeon Keepers. So i download the game and i go to play it and its says there's a conflict. I have local data on my computer from 2013 so 5 years ago interfering with my cloud save and they want to know which one i want to keep. Understandably i'm upset that my new computer isn't as "new" as i thought it was. I go to customer service and they transfer me to technical support, for LATIN AMERICA. The dude finds out i'm in the wrong spot and says he gonna transfer me to the us and then i'm just put in an empty chat room and left to sit there. For twenty freaking minutes. They weren't helpful at all and no one even addressed the issue of my computer, it was all oh i'm sorry this isn't my department. Dell is Bullshit and i hope no one ever buys a laptop from them ever.”

“I received my XPS 15, 4 years ago The good; the battery lasted 4 years... it's all downhill from here... Went to order a new battery since mine had begun to swell (can eventually explode and burn your house down). I'm a little more understanding considering the age of the computer and battery but batteries should not be swelling and breaking interior components within 4 yrs. The first time I got on the phone they told me they could send someone to fix it for me, at the price of $450... no thanks. So I took matters into my own hands, go ahead and buy a battery and replace it myself. I must have called on 4 different occasions (each time included at least a 15 minute hold and a series of people who seemed to only want to pass you on to the next person). The shipping info and the first person told me I would have the battery within a week and a half... okay, not bad. I checked the next day it tells me it won't be in until a month and a half later. However, every time I decided to check, I would end up with a different date. I called multiple times to see when I could expect my battery as school was starting and I couldn't just sit around with a paperweight of a computer. No one could give me an answer. I was told I would be contacted within 24hrs to let me know when I could expect my shipment... nothing. Called once more today and the gentleman on the phone seemed very sorry with the my experience, he told me to continue to wait a couple more days. I decided to cut my losses and cancel the order to get a battery elsewhere. He did inform me that they have a shortage in the specific battery model I need (probably because everyone else's is also on the verge of catching fire as well). Would have been nice to know there was a shortage when I had first called so I could have gotten a battery from an alternate supplier by the time I made the call to cancel my order. I have loved my $2 300 machine but it sure isn't worth the headache of trying to get an alternate part for it. One thing can be said from this... my next computer will sure as hell not be a Dell, their "customer service" will regularly have you pulling your hair out.”
